Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"I can see you've been doing well." Yan Jin Nian smiled at Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao smiled back in response.

Back then, Yan Jin Nian didn't want power, but would she want power now?

To be honest, Empress Xiao's position in the Imperial Harem was not very secure because she didn't have a child yet. Even though she has been trying, but the fate was not hers and

Empress Xiao only felt that it was a pity.

However, the power was still in her hands.

Emperor Yang Zhou might like some other concubines but he would not allow the harem to be in a mess. So for this matter, it was good for Empress Xiao to still hold the power. The other Imperial Concubines had seen Emperor Yang Zhou's attitude, so they restrained themselves a lot.

They didn't want to be swept out because they were not doing things well.

Yan Jin Nian's return to the Imperial Palace might make things change. After all, even if Emperor Yang Zhou was the one in power, he would have to consider the words of Yan Jin Nian too as she was his Imperial Mother.

"Thank you, Imperial Mother. Would you like to come to my palace to rest?" Empress Xiao asked.

Yan Jin Nian could see that Empress Xiao was worried that her arrival would change the situation in the Imperial Harem.

But if she had to say...

There was no need to worry.

The main reason why Yan Jin Nian came here was simply to help Nan Hua to clear up her name and made sure no short sighted women came to talk bad about Nan Hua.

But this needed to be taken step by step.

For the time being...

"I'll pay a visit to your palace soon, Empress Xiao," Yan Jin Nian said unhurriedly.

Empress Xiao's eyes flickered. But she kept the same gentle demeanor and appearance on the surface. "Yes, Imperial Mother."

Yan Jin Nian could see what Empress Xiao was worried about. "I would like to rest in my palace for now. It has been long journey."

"My apologize, Imperial Mother. I'll ask the maidservants to bring you there," Empress Xiao said.

Yan Jin Nian smiled. freewebnøvel.com

In the end, Empress Xiao brought Yan Jin Nian to the latter's palace and talked about some things. On the surface, the two of them looked like good sisters. Well, more like a good mother in law and her daughter in law.

Who knew what they were thinking when they were talking with each other.

After a while, Yan Jin Nian reached the palace and then separated from Empress Xiao. She took a deep breath and looked at the familiar palace in front of her. Before she went to Yi Shang Temple, she has been staying in this palace for a long time.

It was a familiar palace for her.

'For now, I'll stay here for the time being.'

But of course, Yan Jin NIan's intention was not only this thing. She looked at the entrance and showed a faint smile.

Gu Xia Mo couldn't come with her.

After all, normal men were not allowed to enter the Imperial Harem. Moreover, she has the status as Empress Dowager and she would be looked down upon if she brought him along.

However, there was already a place for him to stay not far from the Imperial Palace.

As the Empress Dowager, Yan Jin Nian was not really restricted from going out if she wanted to. Anyway, the place where she wanted to go was just the hospital. Considering her health, no one would be suspicious.

Yan Jin Nian chuckled lightly.

Once she was done with her business here, she would go back to Yi Shang Temple or find a place to stay with Gu Xia Mo.

There, she would be staying for the rest of her life in this world with him.

It would be good enough.

For now, though...

Yan Jin Nian looked at the maidservants that came to her. Some of them came from Emperor Yang Zhou, some from Empress Xiao, some from the other concubines who had some power in the Imperial Harem. It was clear that these maidservants were sent to monitor her.

But for Yan Jin Nian, it was ridiculous.

These people were so worried about her that they spent so much effort to send their people into her palace.

'Well, let's play for a bit.'

She would have no entertainment either and since these people were here, then Yan Jin Nian would make a good use of them.

"Prepare water for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

<Nan Family Residence>

"I hope you can rest more after you come back this time," Old Master Nan said while he was talking with Nan Hua.

After not seeing his granddaughter for a long time, the thing that Old Master Nan wanted the most was for Nan Hua to spend more time with him at home.

He knew that she has started to build her career and so on.

But as her grandfather, he wanted nothing more than to spend time with Nan Hua.

When Old Master Nan was young, he also paid great attention to his career and spent most of his life on the battlefield. He wanted to fight for Fei Yang Kingdom and carve his name in the long record of history.

For that reason, he fought countless days and nights. Many battles were fought with his life

on the line.

He eventually survived.

In his and his friends' era, Fei Yang Kingdom entered their most glorious moments and Old Master Nan was really proud of that.

But then Old Master Nan realized that he spent so little time with his family.

So little that he barely knew anything that happened back then and have so much guilt in his heart. Because he was not capable enough, he had to spent most of his life on the battlefield

to succeed.

Now, Old Master Nan hoped that Nan Hua would not repeat the same mistake as him.
